1932 Map of Prophetstown
USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
Prophetstown and its surrounding townships in Whiteside, Henry, and Bureau counties are shown here during the early 1930s, defined by an intricate network of water management. The Rock River meanders through the northern section, creating landforms like Indian Island and Millwoods Island, while the southern lowlands are transformed by the Main Drainage Ditch and numerous numbered branches. This period shows a landscape transitioning toward modern infrastructure, with the Great Lakes Pipe Line Co facility and State Highway No 92 appearing alongside the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Genealogists will find an incredible density of rural landmarks, including over two dozen country schools such as Hooppole Grove Sch and Prairie Sch, as well as established spiritual centers like St Marys Ch and Leon Ch.
